This invention relates to Certain improvements in powder puffs, and it is an object of the invention to provide a novel and improved devicey of this vgeneral character The invention consists in the details of construction and in the combination and arrangement ofthe several parts of my im-V proved powder puff whereby certain important advantages are attained and the device isf rendered simpler, less'r expensive and kotherwise more convenient and advantageous for use, allfas will be hereinaftermore y y n mation having one face 9 separable so that fully set forth.

be carefullyy defined in the appendedr claim.` Inorder that my invention may be the better understood, I willnow proceed to describe the same with yreference to the 'ac 'companying drawings, whereinf' Figure l is a view rin bottom" plan rof a` vpowder puff constructed in accordance with an embodiment of my inventiongfFig. 2is a longitudinal vertical sectional view of the device asherein disclosed; Fig. 31s a trans kverse sectional view taken through therdein bottom plan, detached, of

As herein disclosed,` l denotesa body or ythe (like carried by' the flexible backing 2 'providedwith the perforations or y'slits 3 whereby/the powclerinay be evenly distrib-y uted through the bodycl so that'the same may be 'applied to the person -with con- .nal portions of said backing and sheet being "specifica-'timer A raten@ fPaftdjylg1551@ afford yawmedium whereby the powder may be inserted within 4the pocket or receptacle 'afforded by thebacking 2 and the sheet l whereby the powder is entirely confined within the pocket or compartment and capable yof escape only through the perforations or slits 3, hereinbefore referred to. f

and said head is provided with theeXtension 7 affording a hand grasp. lThe eXten-y sion 7 is provided with a iiller 8 of wood or the like so that'y suflicient rigidity ande strengthmaybe given to the'extension so that 'the same may be readily and effectively employed with the' possibility'of'said eXten sion becoming fractured orotherwise in-v sedure'd;one,totheflother, as indicated f and :preferably by stitching. y yInitially a "portion ofthe' connection 5 isle-ftfopen" tov `after which the initial opening is yclosed 'l yjured reduced to a minimum. Thehead 6 is also provided with amarginal yflange y10 overlying the outstanding portion of the .strip 11 connected to' the marginal portions of the ybacking 2"and the sheet 4 for increas-r ing the' enhansive effect, and it is to be observed that the Xtension 7 is of a shell forthe filler 8 may be readily appliedinto oper` ,vided with the extension or handle? that powder maybe convenientlyapplied to vari portion ofthe backing 2 and the yative position withinvthe handle.
